Little impact in 2 starts on the Flat for current yard and was a well-held third back over fences at Warwick 3 weeks ago. Returns to the smaller obstacles with enough to prove.

Forecasts

Rumble B (15/8), No Rematch (7/2), Shantou Moon (9/2), Larkfield Lusive (9/2), So Ladylike (6/1), Tartan Cookie (13/2), The Knot Is Tied (28/1)

RUMBLE B is in a rich vein of form at present and, having edged out an unexposed one on his most recent outing, he's fancied to go in again. No Rematch can provide the main threat if ready to roll after a break on his first start for a new yard.
